Our Team

Aaron Gordon

Every day I chip away at more Ideas then I could ever complete. I am grateful to have found this amazing group of uniquely talented individuals. We have long road ahead as we work to improve efficiency and quality of production. Yet being surrounded by such flexible, positive, creative and committed people, makes the journey the best part of getting there.  

Silas Firth

I live on the southern Kenai Peninsula in the great state of Alaska. Making movies has been my dream for years. I can remember pretending film shoots from back when I was a pretty little kid. Around 2010, I began pursuing film full time and founded Standing Tide Productions in 2015. I was blessed to be raised in an amazing family of artists and art will always be a major part of my life. 

Delana Green

Born and raised in Soldotna, Alaska. At the age of six I wrote an "about me" that I wanted to be a performer when I grew up. In 2012 I started my full time music lesson business, then In 2014 my life started to take a turn, as I made my stage directorial debut with Guys and Dolls Jr. I moved on to attend film school in L.A. and I craved the opportunity to build a local Alaskan team. in 2017 I connected with Aaron and suggested we try and work together for a local festival. We built a team and found ourselves writing, acting, and editing a short film in 24 hours. Those 24 hours showed us how well our team can work together, since then that idea has been tested and proven. I am so happy and blessed to be a part of the great team that is Final Spark.

I’ve lived in Alaska my whole life and started getting into film making in 2015 when I bought my first drone. Ever since, I couldn’t get enough of filming and documenting my adventures around Alaska. I now make videos commercially and love to create impactful short films with the team over at Final Spark.

I started making music one time. Now I'm a little better, but who knows. I'm 6ft tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, sometimes beard, but the beard is darker than my head hair usually in the summer. Call me, maybe.

Josh's positive attitude and flexibility make him the ideal production assistant. He is always ready to run, stay, hold, twist, turn, deliver, find, push, pull etc. all those extra somethings that need doing.
